This webinar will last approximately one hour, with time at the end for questions, and it will be divided into two parts. The first part of the webinar will present general tips for drafting policies that comply with Missouri regulations and also impose reasonable expectations on long term care staff. The second half of the webinar will address recent CMS enforcement trends specific to facility policies and procedures, namely the tendency of surveyors to cite deficiencies for a facility’s failure to follow its policies and procedures, even when such policies go beyond what the regulatory language requires.
